Suggestion on where to stay and what to do in London
Alright, so after a long two weeks of stress I have decided to take a vaction, and just chill for a week.
Two of my buddies and I are will be making our way to Aberdeen Scotland for some company training for a few days. So we decided to make our way to London after our training for a few days. So I wanted some Ideas on where would be the best place to stay and the best things to do while in London. Never been there so would like some suggestions especially from the guys and ladies that live in the UK. I will be leaving the first week of June so I hope the weather will be good. Thanks for all the Ideas!!!!!

I went on an all day trip and only got to see the places from the outside due to the sheer amount of things to cram in.

forget the car!!!!
london is like new york, you will spend 90% in traffic and we have a congestion charge area (city center) where you have to pay $10 to drive along the main routes in london. Its sucks but there is no beating the charge, cameras take photos of your car and reg-plate so its linked to your car hire. Public transport is top notch, get an all day travel pass for the tube. Me and my ex paid something like $10 for total tube access and you get any where within a few minutes. No probs about the questions lol, i know i'd be the same if i was going state side again

Disney world baby wooooooot With any money you bring over, double it! No joke... the conversion from dollars to pounds sterling is an ouch factor. 1.8 dollars to 1 pound The UK is very expensive compared to the US

Read the credit card bill with one eye open, it halves the cost

I was thinking more along the lines of pay roll deduction, in small increments. But if not I will give that a try. Does it matter if it is the right or left eye.????

left side of the brain is more imaginary, right side is for thinking... i say use your left eye, that way you can use ignorance to think that the credit card bill isnt real
